Kendrick Lamar Crushes Drake With Diss Song Earnings
According to recent reports, Kendrick Lamar has surpassed Drake in terms of earnings from diss songs. The Compton rapper’s scathing track, “Control,” which he released in 2013, has generated significantly more revenue than Drake’s own diss tracks.
“Control” was widely seen as a bold declaration of dominance in the hip-hop world, with Kendrick taking aim at a range of top rappers, including Drake, J. Cole, and Big Sean. The song’s release sparked a heated debate in the hip-hop community, with many praising Kendrick’s lyrical prowess and others criticizing his perceived arrogance.
In contrast, Drake’s own diss tracks, including “Tuscan Leather” and “Charged Up,” have failed to generate the same level of buzz and revenue. Despite his massive commercial success, Drake has struggled to match Kendrick’s critical acclaim and cultural impact.
The figures are a testament to Kendrick’s enduring influence and artistic success, and serve as a reminder that, in the world of hip-hop, lyrical skill and creative vision are often more valuable than commercial success.
